Partnership Offers New Levels of Cost Flexibility and Extends Ayuda's Reach
throughout the US, India, and Europe

BANGALORE, India, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Ayuda Networks, Inc., a leader in IT
infrastructure connectivity and the provider of IT hosting, data connectivity,
and strategy solutions for the enterprise market, today announced a new
partnership with The Planet and its Partner Plus Channel Program. IT hosting
solutions from The Planet address the needs of IT organizations within
startups, enterprise, and service providers alike through colocation,

business-critical data in a secure, monitored environment, while retaining
full access and control of their data.

Working with The Planet, the Ayuda team will assess all IT requirements
upfront and fulfill any implementation of hardware and service while also
utilizing existing extensive partnerships, enabling the best fit for any
company.

"Our clients trust us to provide the best solutions to their IT infrastructure
problems, and we believe the broad service offerings from The Planet will
allow us to address the needs of our customers, both large and small," said
Tina Burke, President and Co-founder of Ayuda Networks. "We look forward to
offering The Planet colocation, hosting, and cloud solutions to our clients in
the US and around the world."

Ayuda Networks' commitment to client satisfaction and best-practices services
delivery impressed the new channel team at The Planet, leading to an
invitation to join their new Partner Plus Channel Program. According to Tom
Blair, Vice President of Sales at The Planet, "As our inaugural partner in the
new Partner Plus Program, Ayuda brings a stellar reputation for quality
products and services. They have carefully evaluated our portfolio and
recognize it as a valuable addition for their customers who are looking for IT
infrastructure capabilities."

Ayuda Networks will also highlight The Planet services during their
participation at the upcoming Business Technology Summit in Bangalore, India,
November 3-6, 2009. "We are excited to have The Planet work closely with us
during our launch into the Indian marketplace. Their experience serving
